I am a Diaskitic secular conservative, that sees nature as the only Bible (regardless of sentient, or not, origin) since only the examination of the mechanism itself can reveal truths about its engineering intent (or it's trajectory, if non sentient); not the Abrahamic texts.
@barnes_law If the main argument has been that Islamic nations are not ethically or mentally mature enough to have nuclear weapons, it doesn't explain Pakistan. If tyrannical regimes are too mentally unstable to have nuclear weapons, it doesn't explain North Korea's restraint.
@thevivafrei Live debates are not truth seeking. The human brain does not have time to solve complex arguments in real time, so they only serve as exhibition spectacles that favor the most glib who can game the IQ of the audience by gumming up the stage with loaded assumptions.
@ph32121991@AnthonyConigli0@NYSE I don't know how they came to that conclusion that guidance can happen only AFTER both legs are S3 (medical and adult use together). The Treasury already mentioned they will issue guidance for the mix schedule businesses.

@V_arrell@BronsteinSpeaks Imagine if prohibitionists have been shorting the sector all these years to fund themselves and make it uninvestable in the process by punishing (ironically) all "sinners" that try to profit from "sin".
@madras_bertha As I read CUD (p509) it's a behavioral focused definition and does not address the totality of biochemical danger of a substance. Broad enough that coffee also meets at least two criteria. Mentions medical use on page 511, prevalence of 3.4% among 12-17 p512, mild intox on p516
@madras_bertha Isn't CUD a term for addiction, but doesn't include the totality of catastrophic effects of a substance ? Is AUD withdr. more lethal ?
Question is: percent of users (of cannabis, alcohol, etc) that face CATASTROPHIC health events and compare those percentages to each other.
@jamiecampbell I would like to see the critics address proportionality. As in, do they think a larger portion of cannabis users suffer catastrophic side effects than tobacco users or alcohol users or ketamine users ?
